Robert Edward Wanker

Robert was referred to me by the Brooklyn Bar Association when I needed a lawyer to handle my divorce. I was very satisfied with the way he negotiated for me, particularly when it came to my children. I have continued to consult with Robert after the divorce as well. He has been my attorney for 8 yea...rs. He drafted my will, sold my house, handled my mother's estate, and wrote a prenuptial agreement for my daughter. I find him to be straightforward, honest, friendly, understanding, and professional.

I initially hired Robert to prepare my family's wills, living wills, and healthcare proxies. He did it all timely, exactly to our specifications, and for a much more reasonable fee than other attorneys quoted me. He was polite, professional, and spent a lot of time making sure we were satisfied. H...e even came to us, rather than make us go to him, to notarize our documents. (House calls from an attorney!) Later I hired him to probate a will for my mother's estate. Again, he did everything quickly and efficiently. It wasn't a huge estate, so we were worried about paying a huge legal bill. Not with Robert. He understood our position and lowered his normal charges for us. Finally, I hired him to file a personal injury lawsuit. (I didn't even know he did that kind of law when I called to ask him for a referral.) He took my case, did the investigation, handled the depositions, and settled the case before we even had to go to trial. I didn't have to pay him anything out of my own pocket. He took a percentage of the money he negotiated for my settlement. (He said if he didn't get me any money, I wouldn't have had to pay him anything at all, even after all his work on my behalf.) I would recommend Robert to anyone with an estate matter, a will to draw up, or a personal injury matter. I would recommend consulting with him about any other kinds of cases too. If he can't help you, he'll recommend someone who can.

Robert Wanker is an excellent lawyer. He represented my children in Family Court. He is thourough honest, and intelligent, and he is in it to win in, which he has a great record of doing. Any negative reviews about Mr. Wanker, is just sour grapes. He is reasonable and understanding, of the law, and d...oes a great job.He won my case,

Robert Wanker represented me in my divorce proceeding starting 2008. Not only it took him over a year to actually get me a divorce, he filed the wrong papers in court so now my husband gets my daughter overnight an extra day every two weeks plus every holiday. Definitely not what we agreed in front o...f the judge this past March. I've been calling him for over a week now to ask what happened and he doesn't even call back.

The attorney represented the executor of my grandmother's estate, a house in Brooklyn. He not only acted as the attorney for the estate but acted as a real estate agent , selling the house against our wishes. He then moved the proceeds of the estate out of an escrow account and then refused to pay t...he money owed to the beneficiaries, although he paid himself $90,000 and paid the executor. We still do not have our money and are filing a grievance complaint and a complaint with the bar association. The DA told us he acted improperly and may be laible for the amount owed to us because he has not protected the money.
